His/her latest incarnation is at http://elmsleyrose.blogspot.com/2011/06/julies-butterfly-finished-but-with.html. I'm not actually finished yet. Although using a real beetle's wing as the butterfly head was really cool, it's not really working. I've since replaced it with a purple plain embroidered head, same as the body. I'm also going to do a 'network' of fine stitching on top of the purple head/body. But you can see the finished wings. You can waggle the back wing - see how it sticks up from the embroidery? It's only attached at the point where it joins the front wing. It has a backing in purple fabric. The friend it is for loves it! I'll let you know when he/she (It's up to Julie to decide) is all finished, but I thought you'd like to see the progress. All the best, Hi Heather,
